Every caterer knows that despite the benefits of using reusable, permanent tableware, but some events require disposable, temporary tableware options. In such cases, it is important to be extra mindful of food presentation, plating, and picking portion sizes. Create a continuous flow from appetizers all the way through to desserts and after dinner drinks, by using disposable pieces from the same collection or of the same color. This will provide thematic structure and will help you inspire confidence in your guests.

More than sticking to the color theme, it is important to choose disposable tableware with character, class, and quality. Choose disposable plates and bowls that will accentuate the cuisine, but that will also look good before they are in use. A quality catering service serves on quality tableware, and while you might not get many comments on the specific benefits of using attractive, durable tableware, you certainly will if your tableware does not perform.
